Bonjour. I don't know much more French than that, but I've been to your very lovely country. =)

That's great you are going to a neurologist. My neurologist ordered my Vitamin D levels. I am very deficient and hope to find improvement in the weeks to come with my strange pains and symptoms. I recommend getting your levels checked, just as Mrs. D said. Especially with the lack of sun in France, coming out of winter.

All the best!

Thank for your advice, I am going to do a EMG and I am not sure if the neurologist will ask me to do a blood work as in France they tend to give medics and not to check if it is nutrition that can cause the issue.

I am living in south of France, so we have a lot of sun but this week I read in the news that even in California with a lot of sun, most people have a low level. It was a big surprise for me.

Hi all,

The EMG has not showed a lot... :-( I have therefore started benfotiamine and methylcobalamine but now my feets are tingling. Does anyone experieced this after starting this supplements?

When nerves wake up from a numb state, they tend to tingle.

Some people report this during improvement phases.

When my feet woke up after I started thyroid hormone treatment for hypothyroid issues, they tingled quite a bit. It took about a year for that to stop.

A year!!!! my god.... were you able to sleep? for me last night it interrupted my sleep a lot...

Well, my feet were in total agony from pain, which then over time became numb. Once they were numb it was an improvement IMO.

Finally my thyroid was diagnosed (it was a hidden defect which required a radioactive scan) and I was given the hormone to repair myself. That is when I discovered how numb I really was!

I stood all day in my job back then (I was about 30 and it was before my son was born), so I attributed my sore feet to the job.

The tingling wasn't too bad. Noticeable, but not really painful.
It takes time for hypothyroid symptoms to go away.

Oh I see... my tinglings are like feeling the blood circulating in veins, is it what tingling mean (sorry I am french so my perception might be wrongly explained)?
